    Oh definitely easier second time around in my case. My first birth was 22 hours long with a second stage of 2 hours, he wasn't presenting right and I had no urge to push. It was very long and difficult and I was in complete shock afterwards.
    My second labour was not quite 2.5 hours with a very short second stage. Like a PP mentioned he just about delivered himself in the end! I kept waiting for it to get worse but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as my first. I felt fantastic afterwards, it really was a great birth!

    Good luck!
